AAP's Amanatullah Khan Booked for MCC Violation in Delhi

The Delhi Police have registered an FIR against Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) candidate Amanatullah Khan for allegedly violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) South East Delhi took to X and made the announcement, "FIR No. 95/25 has been registered at Jamia Nagar Police Station against Amanatullah Khan under sections 223/3/5 Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Section 126 Representation of the People (RP) Act for violation of the MCC.

AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal also yesterday made serious allegations against the Election Commission of India (ECI) and the Delhi Police accusing it of favoring BJP that is abetting misbehavior for AAP. Kejriwal took to social media to air his grievances against the ECI and Delhi Police, stating that they were working actively to scuttle the elections in favor of the BJP. He further added that their focus was on indulging in hooliganism, protecting BJP's actions, and facilitating the distribution of liquor and money. This came after a case was filed against AAP candidate Atishi for MCC violation.

As per the DCP South East Delhi, Atishi along with 50-70 people and 10 vehicles was present at Fateh Singh Marg after the permitted campaign period.
